Right on George Street in Edinburgh’s New Town, Tigerlily is not shy. The façade may look classic Georgian, but step inside and you are met with bold colours, statement lighting and interiors that lean into lovely drama. Lively, stylish and unapologetically social. Rooms are individually designed, mixing rich fabrics, patterned wallpaper and oversized headboards with modern comfort. Some feel playful, others more sultry, but they’re all spacious and thoughtfully laid out. Large windows bring in plenty of light, and once the curtains close, the mood shifts to something softer and more intimate. If you like your boutique hotels with personality rather than minimalism, this one delivers.

Food

Tigerlily is famous in Edinburgh for its bar and restaurant scene. Breakfast, brunch and dinner are served in a glamorous dining space that’s more like a stylish members club than a hotel restaurant. The menu focuses on modern European dishes with crowd pleasing favourites, and the cocktail list is strong enough to tempt you into staying for one more. Even if you had plans elsewhere, you might reconsider ;)

Environment

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, you are within walking distance of Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile.
